O'Hare will play the intimate, 200-seat theater at the Contemporary Arts Center on Sept. 27 and Sept 28.

"Opening night is basically a sellout, and we have a handful of tickets for the Sunday show," CAC spokesperson Lindsay Ross Owens said in a midday interview Thursday. "We expect a lot of 'American Horror' cast members to be in the audience both nights, since they are filming episodes in New Orleans right now."

Stargazers who can't snag a ticket to 'An Iliad' have another option Saturday.

The CAC and Scene Magazine are hosting a pre-event, industry mixer with a cash bar, Sept. 27, 5:30 p.m. until show time. The gathering takes place at the café inside the CAC and is free and open to the public.

No one can guarantee who will attend the mixer, but O'Hare discussed "An Iliad" in a preview story on NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune:

What: Tony Award-winning actor Denis O'Hare in a one-man show that mixes acting and storytelling to drive home the enduring meaning of Homer's ancient epic of the Trojan War.

When: Sept. 27 and 28, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St.
